Update

FEBRUARY AT PENN

Body Vox will perform the program Reverie, a two-decade retrospective show of works choreographed by the company founders Ashley Roland and Jamey Hampton. The theatrics of Reverie shift between the fast, the fluid, the bleak and the funny with music ranging from Delibes and Miles Davis, to the Bulgarian Women's Chorus to Johnny Cash. The return engagement of the group, on February 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the Zellerbach Theatre, is presented by Dance Affiliates and PENN Presents. Tickets are $33, $30, $28. Discounts are available for seniors, students, and faculty, staff and alumni. Photo by Blaine Truitt Covert.
